Coming to DVD and Blu-ray November 10th from Virgil Films and Kino Lorber!

Maybe Next Year
Directed by Kyle Thrash

Since 1776, Philadelphia existed in the shadows of New York City and Washington D.C. Counted out and overlooked, Philadelphians turned to football as a way to let out their frustrations. After 58 years of coming up short, a Super Bowl title had become Philly's holy grail. What started out as the most promising year in decades, the 2017 season, quickly unraveled with the season ending injury of their MVP quarterback. With the deck stacked against them, an underdog city bands together and puts their faith in an unlikely backup. From throwing snowballs at Santa Claus to having a jail in their stadium, this fanbase has earned their title of worst in the NFL. Maybe Next Year peels back the veil and offers an intimate look at the lives of four very different and very dedicated Eagles fans, unified by their commitment to family, unwavering passion, and the common dream of becoming Super Bowl Champions. Eagles fans paint their own portrait of what brotherly love truly means in the best comeback sports story in years.

THE JEWISH SOUL: Ten Classics of Yiddish Cinema
Five-Disc Set

During its heyday in the late 1930s, Yiddish movies covered a broad range of genres: comedies, soap operas, the supernatural, literary adaptations, musicals, and Lubitsch-style romances. Unified through language, gesture, and a common cultural sensibility, they captured the essence of the Jewish soul. Comprised of both the essential films (The Dybbuk, Tevya) and the lesser-known programmers (The Yiddish King Lear, Motel the Operator), this five-disc set captures the diversity of Yiddish film, and encourages a better appreciation of this most fascinating, but rarely-viewed genre. The ten features in this collection were restored by Lobster Films, the result of an unprecedented collaboration between the Museum of Modern Art, the Deutsche Kinemathek and the Filmoteka Narodowa in Warsaw. Each film has been newly translated by noted Yiddish actor (the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man), playwright and translator Allen Lewis Rickman.

[dana martin]

Mr. Insider, i have some questions for you, with the releases that Kino does with Zeitgeist Films, and some of the older Fox Lorber titles, i was wondering if some of those older titles were looking at an HD release.

Peter Greenways' The Draughtmans Contract
Ulysses' Gaze
both Fox Lorber titles that i belive Kino should have now

as for the Zeitgeist Films, Jarman's Caravaggio,

i am asking because with some of the partnerships that Kino has they have release in conjunction with the BFI, who releases a massive two volume set of Jarman's work

as always, thank you for any information you may be able to pass along

Coming December 8th!

The Return of the Musketeers (1989)
• Audio Commentary by Film Historian and Critic Peter Tonguette
• Image Gallery
• Theatrical Trailer
• Optional English Subtitles

Director Richard Lester (Juggernaut) reassembled his original cast of swashbucklers from 1973’s The Three Musketeers and 1974’s The Four Musketeers: Milady’s Revenge for 1989’s The Return of the Musketeers, a sumptuous, action-packed adventure. Twenty years ago, D’Artagnan (Michael York, The Island of Dr. Moreau), Athos (Oliver Reed, The Hunting Party), Porthos (Frank Finlay, Robbery) and Aramis (Richard Chamberlain, The Thorn Birds) executed the beautiful but lethal seductress Milady de Winter. Now, Milady’s ravishing daughter Justine (Kim Cattrall, Sex and the City) has vowed revenge. Meanwhile, Athos’s adopted son Raoul (C. Thomas Howell, The Hitcher) has grown to manhood and when he and Justine meet, swords and sparks fly. Can the four musketeers stay one step ahead of Justine while they race to foil a cunning political plot? For dazzling swordplay, lavish costumes, dangerous romance, breathless excitement, and a generous dose of comedy, The Return of the Musketeers is all for fun and fun for all! The stellar cast includes Christopher Lee (The Oblong Box), Geraldine Chaplin (Doctor Zhivago), Roy Kinnear (The Bed Sitting Room), Philippe Noiret (Coup de Torchon), Billy Connolly (Absolution), Aldo Sambrell (Navajo Joe) and Jean-Pierre Cassel (Army of Shadows) as Cyrano de Bergerac.

 

[Dick]

Unfortunately, the untimely death of Roy Kinnear (Planchette) severely hobbles the film. For the second half, Lester had to use back-to-the-camera stand-ins and a bunch of other tricks to fill in, but his timing was off, and the pacing was just not a up that that of the much earlier (1974-5) films. Good, rousing musical score, though, by Jean-Claude Petit, if you can find a copy (it's out of print, and hovering around $100. or more on eBay).

I still remember The Barbarian Brothers from Santa Monica branch of Gold's Gym, back in the 1980s. They regularly got into fist fights with each other and with the muscle clique who followed them about. Everybody just kept out of their way and let them amuse themselves.

I remember this one. Fun stuff! Cool reversible artwork.

Babylon Berlin
Season 3

Written and directed by Tom Tykwer, Achim von Borries and Henk Handloegten
The vaultingly ambitious, award-winning German series Babylon Berlin is a dizzyingly thrilling crime drama. Season 3 opens in the fall of 1929 in Berlin, during the tumultuous weeks before Black Friday’s stock market crash. Inspector Gereon Rath (Volker Bruch) and Charlotte Ritter (Liv Lisa Fries) are assigned to investigate the death of an actress, only to realize that the film industry is as rotten as the underworld. In the meantime, the fascist Black Reichswehr are regathering their forces for their next attempt to bring down democracy and provoke more clashes with the Communists.

Special features:
*Optional English subtitles
*Trailers

I'll check out my DVD. If that is noticeably sub-standard, I'll buy this Blu-ray disc. I don't watch the film very often but it does hold my attention whenever I do.

 

[skylark68]

Wonder if that pink ‘59 Cadillac was the same one used in Fletch Lives? Probably not too many floating around even in the late 80s and early 90s.
